"Tell me, old fox, in a situation like this, Ling Yun hasn't asked me for help. Is that normal?"
Liao Yingwei looked at me and shook his head with a smile.
"She doesn't need to ask you for help. If the Wu and Xie families start making trouble, you'll be the first to act."
Well... that was true.
If anything went wrong in this city, I'd definitely be the first to step in. So whether Ling Yun asked me for help or not, I'd get involved.
Asking me directly would only waste a favor. Given Ling Yun's habit of trying to scheme her way into everything and never managing to scheme her way into anything, she probably wouldn't come to me for help.
"Old man... there's something else I wanted to ask you."
"Hmm? Go ahead. You're already here, so say whatever's on your mind."
"The True Dragon Organization. You know about them too. They joined forces with you back then."
"Mm. If it weren't for them, perhaps the XZ Military Region wouldn't have been surrounded by the insect horde."
"They've already started infiltrating Chang'an. Tell me, should I wipe them all out at once, or let them run so I can catch the bigger fish?"
If I had Bai Chi make a move now, she could probably take down everyone from the True Dragon Organization in an instant. But they were all small fry. I wanted to catch the bigger fish.
"You don't need to ask this old man. Make the decision yourself. Sometimes, you can't always rely on other people."
The old man said another cryptic thing, leaving me confused.
"Old man, what do you mean by that?"
"Hahaha! What else could I mean? Exactly what I said!"
"I feel like you're not telling me the whole truth."
